Empower provides district cooling to Jumeirah projects

DUBAI, June 18, 2017

Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corp (Empower), a major district cooling services provider, has started delivering district cooling solutions to the Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT) and Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) projects in Dubai, UAE.

Empower will provide residential, retail and commercial real estate developments in these areas with up to 11,000 refrigeration tons (RT) of cooling services.

“We are very pleased to deliver the first phase of district cooling solutions to JVC and JVT. The project has been supervised and managed with a high level of efficiency. At Empower, it is our mission to provide landmark projects of Dubai with world-class cooling solutions with district cooling services to drive the country towards its sustainable vision. The best technology has been deployed to construct the network in JVC and JVT, which will ensure highest performance and quality,” said Ahmad Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower.

The project is divided into several phases and Empower will produce 30,000 RT by the end of this year.

Empower had signed last year a contract with Nakheel to provide district cooling services to Jumeirah Village Circle and Jumeirah Village Triangle. Empower will invest Dh1.8 billion ($490 million) in five years for this project, and will build six cooling plants in the two locations, to provide 260,000 RT for the 440 buildings.

“Developers are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages of reliability of district cooling service. The strong local and international reputation of Empower has made it the first choice for cooling services, thus helping us acquire larger segment of the district cooling market in Dubai,” added Bin Shafar.

“It is a pleasure to witness more and more real estate developers adopting district cooling services in their developments as they realise its advantages. As we expand in Dubai and the other emirates, we adopt the best and international cooling standards. This not only demonstrates our quality and efficiency, but also reinforces our presence in the region,” concluded Bin Shafar. – TradeArabia News Service
